**First Appearance:** #book10 A world in the Delta Pavonis system, about twenty light-years from Earth. Delta Pavonis was, as stars went, a friendly one, the same spectral class as Sol, although somewhat larger. Unfortunately, a complete lack of gas giants in the system meant that the three rocky inner worlds had been subjected to a near continuous bombardment by asteroids for much of the system’s history. The outer two were barren, pockmarked balls of pummeled rock both roughly the size of Mars, with thin atmospheres and no liquid water. They’d given some protection to their innermost cousin, though, a planet slightly smaller than Earth with a thicker atmosphere and several small oceans. The planet is being worked by big corporations, all in competition with one another. > [!quote] From Book 10 > "Because the GKU has a strategic interest in Level Blue. It’s the source of a number of commodities we like to keep track of, and it’s also a clearinghouse for all sorts of nefarious activities, like weapons smuggling, money laundering, and even some sentient-being trafficking." A major source of platinum, palladium, and ruthenium, commonly found in conjunction with osmium.
